Jeremie's POV

I was shocked.

"A-Aelita?" I managed to choke out.

"Yes, Jeremie?"

"You're...materialized,"

I thought hard. I must have pressed a wrong key and made her be materialized.
"Welcome earth,"

Ulrich's POV

I was on the floor, facedown. Slowly, I lifted my head at the familiar, "Yes, Jeremie?"

Slowly, a smile spread across my face. Aelita was materialized. I passed out for some reason, maybe shock, maybe exhaustion. I don't know and nobody else knew either.

When I woke up, I was staring at a familiar ceiling, and familiar faces were gazing at me.

"Ulrich! Finally woke up!" Odd exclaimed.

"Keep it down, dipstick," Jeremie muttered.

"Where the hell am I?" I asked, twisting my head to one side quickly, making a disgusting crack.

"Don't do that again," muttered Odd.

I laughed and Aelita mocked my movement.

"Aelita, don-"

Too late. She twisted her head extremely fast and there was a crack worst than mine. Aelita grabbed her neck and moaned in pain.

"I tried to warn ya," I said, shrugging.

Jeremie went over to Aelita and Odd went to the toilet.

"You think you could you ralf a little quieter?" I yelled.

My cell phone rang. I looked at the screen and was shocked: the Xana sign was on it.

Slowly, I hit the talk button and brought it to m ear.

"Hello, Ulrich," said a mysterious voice that made my stomach tie in a not.

"I might have something that would...intrest you."

"Xana," I growled just loud enough for everyone in the room to hear.

There was a cold laugh at the other end.

"Very smart, boy. If you want to see what I have for you, come into Lyoko...alone,"

"Fine."

I hung up.

"Was that Xana? Was that really Xana?" Odd asked, wide eyed.

"Yep." I sighed.

"Jeremie, I have to go to Lyoko,"

"Okay, I'll send-"

"Alone,"

Everyone gazed at me like I was crazy.

Two minutes later I was in a scanner, waiting to be virtualized.

"Ulrich, it would be a good-"

"Who gives a shit? Anyway, if I die, you have my list,"

Jeremie said his usual lines and I felt like I was being torn apart limb from limb...except molecule from molecule.

Seconds later, I was in front of a tower. Armies of Crabs, Cubes, and monsters I don't even want to think exists were at both sides of the tower. I slowly advanced towards the tower.

"Come in," a spine tingling voice said.

I looked foreword to see a male version of Aelita, except for blue hair.

"Welcome, Ulrich, to my tower,"

A/N: Sorry it was short, but this is the best place to stop, just to add suspense. Here a teaser for the next chapter.

'I saw Yumi. I reached out to hung her but Justin Meir hit her in the back of the head.'
